Hints for Handling the Paper Sources

This machine offers two paper sources to load printing paper; the Rear Tray (A) and the Cassette (B).

Here are some hints for handling these paper sources according to how you are using them. (A)

(17)

If You Print Regularly on Photo Paper as well as on Plain Paper

If you use photo paper as much as plain paper, you can load photo paper in the Rear Tray and plain paper in the Cassette. This way, you can switch the paper source according to the type of paper just by pressing the Paper Feed Switch.

You can also specify the type and size of paper to be fed from the Cassette using the printer driver. You can print more efficiently by specifying the type of paper you use regularly this way, since the paper source will be switched automatically to the Cassette for this paper.

(A) Rear Tray: Load paper of various types and sizes, including photo paper (B) Cassette: Load paper you use most regularly, such as plain paper

Note

z Some types and sizes of paper are not loadable in the Cassette and require the use of the Rear Tray. See “Paper Handling” on page 10. For details on loading paper, see “Loading Paper” on page 16.

z Printer driver settings may be required depending on the usage. For details on printer driver settings, refer to the PC Printing Guide on-screen manual.

(A)

(18)

14 Before Using the Machine

If You Print Mainly on Plain Paper

You can load plain paper of the same size in both paper sources, and set the printer driver to automatically switch the paper source when either paper source runs out of paper during printing.

(A) Rear Tray: Load plain paper (B) Cassette: Load plain paper

(B) (A)

(19)

Changing the Paper Source

Each time you press the Paper Feed Switch, the paper source to be used switches between the Rear Tray and the Cassette. The paper feeds from the paper source whose lamp is lit.

(A) Rear Tray lamp (B) Cassette lamp (C) Paper Feed Switch

Important

When Printing from Your Computer

If a setting other than Paper Feed Switch is selected for Paper Source in the printer driver, the Paper Feed Switch on the machine will be disabled and the printer driver settings take precedence when printing. Confirm the setting in the printer driver. See “Printing with Windows” on page 40 or “Printing with Macintosh” on page 41.

For details on paper source selection using the printer driver, refer to the PC Printing Guide on-screen manual.

(B)

(C) (A)

(20)

16 Before Using the Machine

Loading Paper

Loading Paper in the Rear Tray

1 Flatten the four corners of the paper before loading it.

Important

z If you cut plain paper to 4" x 6" / 101.6 x 152.4 mm, 5" x 7" / 127.0 x 177.8 mm, or 2.13" x 3.39" / 54.0 x 86.0 mm (credit card-size) for a trial print, it can cause paper jams.

z You cannot print on postcards affixed with photos or stickers.

z Always load paper in portrait orientation (A). Loading paper in landscape orientation (B) can cause the paper to be jammed.

Note

z We recommend using genuine Canon photo media when printing photographs. For details on the specialty media Canon provides for use with its various printers, refer to “Using Specialty Media” on page 9.

When Printing on Plain Paper

z You can use general copy paper or Canon’s Super White Paper. When printing on both sides, we recommend Canon’s Super White Paper Double-Sided.

Paper size:

– Standard sizes: A4, B5, A5, Letter, and Legal (Rear Tray only)

– Non-standard sizes for the Rear Tray: 2.13 x 3.39 inches to 8.5 x 23 inches / 54.0 x 86.0 mm to 215.9 x 584.2 mm

– Non-standard sizes for the Cassette: 3.5 x 5 inches to 8.5 x 11.69 inches / 89.0 x 127.0 mm to 215.9 x 297.0 mm

Paper weight: 17 to 28 lb / 64 to 105 gsm (plain paper, except for Canon genuine paper)

Note

z Align the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without aligning the edges may cause paper jams.

z If paper is curled, hold the opposing curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction until the paper becomes completely flat. See “Paper is curled.” on page 81.

z To avoid curling, handle paper as follows.

– When you do not print, remove unused paper from the Rear Tray, put them back into the package, and keep it on a level surface.

– Take out only the necessary number of sheets from the package, just before printing.

(21)

2 Prepare to load paper.

(1) Open the Sheet Feeder Cover and pull out the Paper Support.

Put your finger in the rounded indent of the Paper Support and pull it out until it stops.

(2) Open the Paper Output Tray.

Note

Make sure that the Cover Guide is set upright when you load paper in the Rear Tray.

Important

Do not slide the Paper Guide too hard. The paper may not be fed properly.

Note

z When performing copy direct printing without using a computer, select the size and type of the loaded paper in Page size and Media type in each mode. For details on settings in each mode, see “Setting Items” on page 25 and page 30.

z When using the machine connected to a computer, select the size and type of the loaded paper in Page Size (or Paper Size) and Media Type in the printer driver.

(22)

18 Before Using the Machine

Loading Paper in the Cassette

Some types and sizes of paper are not loadable in the Cassette and require the use of the Rear Tray. If you intend to use only the Cassette, check for any usage restrictions in advance. See “Paper Handling” on page 10.

1 Flatten the four corners of the paper before loading it.

See “Flatten the four corners of the paper before loading it.” on page 16.

2 Pull out the Cassette from the machine.

3 Load the paper with the print side facing

DOWN.

(1) Load the paper in the Cassette with the print side facing DOWN and the leading edge to the far side.

(2) Align the paper stack against the right side of the Cassette.

(3) Slide the Paper Guides to fit to the loaded paper stack.

Important

z Do not leave photo paper, such as Photo Paper Pro, in the Cassette for a long time. This may cause paper discoloration due to natural aging.

z If you load photo paper such as Photo Paper Pro in the Cassette, you may get roller traces on the print surface. To avoid this, load paper in the Rear Tray.

Do not load higher than the Load Limit Mark (A).
